Aaron was fantastic from start to finish of my lease process. I had never leased a car before and didn’t have a clue what I was doing! His friendly and fun yet proffesional manner made me feel comfortable with his experience and recommendations. I asked ALOT of questions and was terrible with the signing/getting back to him yet he was constantly patient and proffesional. I really appreciated the “check in” phone call after is received my car and I was given further opportunity to ask questions! I’ll see you in 2 years time to start the process again!!

This was my first time both…

This was my first time both transitioning to an electric car, as well as it being a lease. I just assumed it would be a nightmare, I made sure to do lots of research of what I wanted, and went to many showrooms to test some cars out. Just being in that enviroment of showrooms, I assumed anything lease related would be the same. Alot of pressure, aggressive sales tactics and left unsure if I am about to be scammed with hidden fees.

I can honestly say it was the total opposite, the whole experience felt chilled, I felt informed and I feel like I got a great deal, I actually think I might be scamming them. I am a month in, and overall happy with the customer service I have received, if that doesn't change longterm then I will make sure to come back and alter my review, but for now I am happy.

Shoutout to Aaron for making the entire process enjoyable, something I have never experienced with buying a car.

Fantastic stress free leasing experience

I had a fantastic experience leasing my new car here, thanks to the amazing help of Mike Crompton and Hayley Smith. They were both incredibly friendly and helpful, quickly responding to all my questions and even offering me savings that I wasn't expecting. They made what can often be a stressful process feel incredibly simple. The paperwork was easy to handle, and they delivered the car exactly when they promised. I couldn't be happier with the service I received!
